Hey Dad. - Hm?
I want to do fireworks next summer in Oshima.
Sure.
Will your disease be cured next year?
Yeah.
When will
your disease be cured?
If you be a good girl he'll get better soon.
Right Kei?
Ah, it got away.
Hey Kotaro, How do I become a good girl?
Become a good girl? - I must become
a good girl no matter what. - A good girl is
a girl that is useful to grown ups.
Really? - Cheerfully greet them,
Say yes to whatever they ask,
help around the house, and do your homework.
Greet them, answer them, help at home, do my homework?
But I could never become that good of a kid.
I don't really get it.
Bye bye.
So naive.
I'm home!
Welcome home. Wash your hands help make breakfast.
Yes! Right Away!
Wow. You're crazy full of energy today.
Did something good happen at the morning exercises?
Dad, What's this?
That's...
My doctor's business card.
The person that's going to cure your disease?
Yeah.
Enough of this, meal time.
Let's eat.
Ok, Let's eat!
Dad, You haven't been smoking have you?
No smoking. - Are you taking your medicine?
I'm taking it. - Alright
More important than me,
Have you been doing your Summer homework?
I do it right after breakfast.
Really?
That's admirable.

Ah, Cold. Cold. Mr. Mune!
Mr. Mune, Mr. Mune, Mr. Mune.
With this mesh T-shirt and this cooling foam,
I'm ready to take on the Summer!
Ok, Good luck. - Yeah!
Morning. - Good Morning.
Hey Akio. - Yeah?
Still dumb as ever? - I'm not dumb.
Could you stop calling me dumb instead of greeting me?
Let's see. Today...
Finish work on scantling…
Morning.
Good Morning. - Good Morning.
Kei,
I've mentioned this yesterday, but I'll say it again to be sure,
Today we'll finish up work on the scantling
and then sort and package in the evening.
Coloring materials arrive in the afternoon,
we just do both sides of the shaft and we'll be done.
I understand. - If you say it once boss
you don't have to say it again. He won't forget.
Right Kei? - Yeah.
Well, I'll be leaving first. - Sure, work hard.
Kei,
Boss. - Hm? What's up Mr. Mune?
Don't pity me.
About what?
I'm not someone you can't ask favors from.
What are you talking about? - Don't play dumb!
What is it so early in the morning?
I've been working here for 20 years.
I thought that I was a person,
to you boss and of course Kei, that you could say anything to.
No matter how bad the situation we could come together to face it
like soldiers in battle.
And yet, why didn't you say anything to me!?
You're misunderstanding Mr. Mune - Understanding, Overstanding,
We're all standing!
Sorry Mr. Mune! - No this is my fault.
I'll tell him so you don't need to say anything Kei.
But the timing... - No, I think
I should just tell him myself.
Mr. Mune, The truth is...
You don't have to tell me. I already know.
Who do you think I am?
Kei,
You're in debt aren't you? - Huh?
The reason you keep looking in that book is
because you're worried about the payment due date right?
Um no Mr. Mune... - Have you ever thought
of switching to a higher paying job
if you need money that bad? - The thing is...
I'm going to need some perspective on this.
Help me out here.
So what's the cause of your debt?
Pachinko?
Auto Racing?
I've experienced it too so I understand.
Here just use some of this.
I don't have a debt.
Huh?
The truth is
I'm ill.
Ill?
Alright. Today's part is done.
How about we get started on Tomorrow's?
Because I forget things, I take notes so that
I'm not a bother.
I check them while working.
Mhm, mhm, mhm.
We talked to Miu about this,
She thinks that Kei will be cured by taking medicine,
so be careful not to say anything unnecessary.
By the way, it would be best to keep this a secret from Akio too.
Why? - Being the way he is,
he's likely to slip up and blab off to Miu.
I see.
He's really out there.
Maybe it's too cool.
But, it must be hard on you Kei,
Working, Raising a child, now add to that... No no no,
Let me know if there is anything that I can do.
Thank you. - Sure.
Good Morning! - You're full of energy
Miu. - Morning.
Is Akane here? I wanted her to check my homework answers.
Just wait right here.
Miu,
Make sure you help your dad,
don't say anything selfish,
just be a good girl. Ok?
Mr. Mune. - I know.
Got it? Miu. - Yes!
Good.
Well Let's go Kei.
Yeah.
See you Miu. - Be safe.
Plug this into here...
It moved.
Hello.
You're Mr. Kinoshita right?
Takuya.
Thank you for the speech you gave at the wedding reception.
Oh no, I was so nervous at that time.
What brings you here today?
Is Akane around?
You've been a great help to me
during my mother's funeral. - No, we didn't do much.
Has it already been half a year? - Yes.
When did you leave Osaka?
I just arrived earlier.
Akane's here. - Hm?
Why?
Didn't I tell you over the phone? I said, "I want to come talk in person"
I didn't suddenly barge in here to discuss anything else,
Just about Akane and Myself.
This child hasn't said anything to us
so we don't know what's going on...
I'll say this because it's decided,
I have no intention of divorcing Akane.
Huh?
I don't want to hide anything from your parents.
But I feel like you have something that you want to say.
So whatever it is that you want to say, say it.
Anything that should be fixed or
any misunderstandings that you want to explain.
We should go.
Come on Chieko.
Hm, no but... - Just come on,
This is their problem.
But... Really?
Akane,
take your time.
You too Takuya, take your time.
Huh!? You just suddenly came down
without an appointment?
So this is what divorce is like.
But this means she'll be available again right?
Akio it's because you blab on and on about anything
that you are useless. Right Kei?
It's interesting though. Right Kei?
This is tough.
Oh yeah.
In my eyes, I see no reason for me to write my name here.
I need you.
I've realized this as we've lived apart.
Hey.
But...
How's it looking?
I've told you how I feel.
Since I have a Dinner meeting with the manager to attend to tonight,
I'll come again tomorrow.
I want to hear how you feel at that time.
Oh, Leaving already? - Hm?
I have to work. I'll visit again tomorrow.
You're as busy as ever.
Akane, see him off!
See you tomorrow.
This should be good.
So what's the reason for the separation anyway?
We can't give you any advice if you don't tell us.
Honey, Please say something.
Uh well...
There's a saying, "Rain falls, The earth hardens"
No it's alright.
Akane just tell us the reason.
Before we got married,
I thought
He was looking in the same direction and walking at the same speed as me.
But before I knew it,
I realized that he
was headed in a completely different direction.
I see.
Yup.
Honey,
Did you understand that just now?
What did she mean?
I didn't get it at all.
Wait, Wait a second.
You're way too concerned. - Of course I'm concerned.
That's my precious daughter that was birthed from my stomach.
You've never even changed a diaper
so you can't say anything! - What's going on?
He's irresponsibly saying that we should leave Akane alone!
I said that we need to just quietly
watch over her. - If we know the reason
couldn't we give her strength as well?
The what should we do huh? Grab her by the throat
and yell "Why did you separate!?"
I didn't say that!
Madam, call down.
If you'd like, should I be the one to go ask Akane?
Idiot! - Stupid!
No medicine could fix you.
You didn't have to go that far... Kei.
I'm back. - Dad, Welcome home.
Ah!
What happened!?
Ow.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
Let me see.
This should do it.
Thanks.
But Miu,
Why were you washing the dishes?
I thought I'd help you out a little
by cleaning and doing laundry.
I forgot to dry the laundry!
What!?
Oh man.
I'm sorry.
I'm glad that you thought to help me out.
Thanks.
However,
There are a lot of dangerous jobs to be done in the house.
That's why for now, I'll do them.
Your job is
to study well, eat well, and play well.
Got it? - Yes.
I can't hear you. - Yes.
More energetically. - Yes!
Alright, time to eat.
Let's eat. - Let's eat!
Seems it still isn't over.
Did it go well? Your talk with Takuya.
Your mom and dad are worried.
I'm not a kid anymore.
No matter how old you are, Parents worry about their children.
They always wish for your happiness.
Children are the same.
They do everything they can for their parents so they don't worry.
That's why sometimes you can't say some things even if you want to.
Could it be that you're thinking
that Miu may be more worried than you imagined?
Yeah.
I've been beginning to wonder if not mentioning
that my illness in incurable
is the right thing to do.
I want to always live
with Miu after all.
I see.
But Miu is still just 8 years old.
I can't really say what would be easiest.
And you?
What can't you say to your family?
Ah.
Do I continue with married life as I have?
Or do I formally file for divorce?
When I decide on which
I'll tell my parents.
Goodnight.
"Let's cross London bridge"
"While singing."
"Let's cross London bridge together."
Look. Finished.
I want to try too.
"Let's cross London bridge"
"While singing."
"Let's cross London bridge togeth..."
Huh?
No good. - I'll show you again tomorrow.
Now it's bedtime.
Goodnight.
G'night.
When you go out to play make sure you wear a hat
and let Untie Chieko know that you're leaving.
Yes! - Alright.
Dad. - Yeah?
Your notebook. - Oh I need this.
And your towel. - Thanks.
Bye.
Oh,
When I go shopping tonight,
I have to get that thing. - That thing?
Yeah, that thing...
Laundry detergent! Right.
It was all used up yesterday.
I'm leaving.
Be safe.
I'll be riding on tonight's bullet train.
I'll finish the documents on the train. Yes, excuse me.
Work must be busy.
More stressful is that I live alone now.
But I guess that is my fault.
Because I took in my sick mom.
Sick?
My mother had Alzheimer's disease.
"They do everything they can for their parents so they don't worry."
"That's why sometimes you can't say some things even if you want to."
Did Akane
help your mother with her Alzheimer's?
Of course she shared the housework and helping out to an extent.
However, In the end, helping
was too stressful for her.
Oh, Sorry, You're in the middle of work. Excuse me.
I'm going out to play.
Where? - I made plans
to go to the park with Nako. - Don't be late.
Yes. I'm leaving. - OK.
Let's go. - Huh? Where to?
Somewhere we can talk face-to-face. I'm be most calm that way.
Really? - Yeah, that'd be best.
I'm leaving. - I'm going.
See you later. - Be safe.
Ah, I'm sorry! I'll go get a towel right now.
It's alright Nako.
You can use this. - Thanks.
Thank you. - Don't mention it.
Nako!
Miu!
Miu. - Miu.
Hello.
Kei.
Yes.
I was wondering if you had heard anything about why Akane separated.
You see Chieko keeps saying that I should ask.
"My mother had Alzheimer's disease."
"However, In the end, helping
was too stressful for her."
No I haven't.
I see. That's fine.
Sorry to bother you mid-work.
"Johto University School of Medicine Hospital"
Do you know it? - Yeah.
That's the hospital my grandmother was in last year.
Where is it? - Hm. Ride the trolley
until Koushinzuka and then it's about a 10 minute walk.
March proudly?
No that'd be too hard.
"Kou-shin-zuka station"
Here you go.
"Kou-shin-zuka"
Let me see this again.
"Kou-Shin-Zuka Station"
This neighborhood is nice. Still laid back like always.
If I were to transfer back to Tokyo
it might be nice to live here.
Do you understand why I went back to my parent's house?
Wasn't is because of my mom?
It's because of something you said.
What did I do?
The day we buried your mother.
"If we would have put her in an institution sooner
My mother may have lived longer."
"But your stubbornness
would allow it to be said."
I didn't mean it like that...
Then how did you mean it?
Certainly, I have some stubborn ways.
But didn't we look into it?
We discussed it together and decided
that it would be best for your mother to have us take her in.
Yet still...
I understand.
I was wrong.
Please give me another chance.
I want to fix this. Whatever it takes.
Everyone becomes frantic when it comes to their parents.
How long are you going to let this small thing bother you?
This small thing?
Even if you're husband and wife, you were once unrelated.
If there is something you don't like, or something you won't forgive,
sometimes, you have to make compromises so
you can come to an agreement together.
I'm a banking man.
You worked at the same place as me before so you understand don't you?
If I get a divorce, what will my boss think of me?
Even now I need to keep this separation a secret.
I understand.
Now I'm sure that I
can't be with you anymore.
Why?
Because in the end, you can't think of anyone other than yourself can you?
The most important thing to you is...
More than us being together...
Your position in the company isn't it?
Good bye.
"Next is Kajiwara."
Not there yet.
But Akane is going to be Akane.
At least she could explain the situation to her parents.
I really want to know what this reason she can say is. Kei.
Here.
Akane.
Welcome back Akane. - Welcome home.
I'm back.
Alright it's matching.
At the first railroad crossing, right.
It matches.
I didn't say anything to you guys
because I didn't want to worry you.
Until she passed away 6 months ago
I had been taking care of my mother-in-law.
Taking care? - Yes.
For about how long?
Three years. - Three years!
But that's not the reason
why we're divorcing.
What's most important to him is his position
and not us being together. I've learned this.
Are you sure about this?
Yes. - Well people
these days get divorced once or twice without a problem.
Dear. - In life you fall down 7 times and get up 8.
Don't worry about marrying 7 times and divorcing 8 times.
If you get married 7 times then you can only get divorced 7 times.
It's all hypothetical. - It couldn't even
hypothetically happen.
Sure it could, right?
Dad.
Mom.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
I'll go make some tea.
I'm here.
What's wrong?
I want to see this person.
Doctor Koga?
Where is he?
Do you want to get a checkup?
I need to talk to him.
That won't be possible.
Next time you come with Mom or Dad,
you have to make an appointment with the front desk.
Please!
You can't.
Please let me see Doctor Koga! Please let me see Doctor Koga!
Come in.
Hello, I'm Kinoshita Miu.
That's great. You can properly introduce yourself.
Yes.
I'm the Doctor Koga you've been looking for.
So what can I do for you today?
This is serious! Hey! - Is it about Akane?
Ow. - It's Miu...
Miu!
Dad.
Why did you come here all by yourself?
Didn't you tell Untie Chieko
that you were going to the park?
I'm sorry.
Mr. Kinoshita. The doctor is waiting. This way.
Excuse me.
Miu, just wait a little longer.
Yes.
I'm sorry for all the trouble caused.
Oh no no no. It's great.
I mean a second grader riding the train alone to get here...
There's no way my son could do it.
I never know what she's thinking.
Miu is a kind kid that cares for you.
"So what can I do for you today?"
"Is this about your Dad?"
"Is there any medicine that can make me a good girl?"
"Medicine to make you a good girl?"
"If I become a good girl then Dad's disease will be cured but
if I don't be a good girl, he won't get better."
"Who told you that?"
"Everybody said it."
"Untie Chieko, Mr. Mune too."
"But I couldn't wash clothes or do the dishes well
so I'll never become a good girl."
"So is there any medicine that will make me a good girl?"
She was worried about that.
Please have a seat.
And then...
"Unfortunately, there is no medicine that will make you a good girl."
"However, his disease not getting better is not your fault."
"Then why won't it get better?"
"Dad stopped smoking, he eats squash that he hates,
and he takes his medicine so why isn't he getting better?"
"He promised we'd go on a trip together when he got better."
"We're both really looking forward to it."
"So quickly cure him."
"Please."
She's really looking to understand.
More than you seem to realize.
What did you tell Miu about the disease?
"I'm trying my best,
you're dad is doing his best too,
So don't cry and let's do this together!"
"Yes."
"Doctor,"
"Please take care of my dad!"
Thank you.
I'm really sorry for this.
But,
Just you and Miu living together
is going to be more difficult than it was before.
I think it would be best for you to quickly find someone who can
watch over Miu.
Dad.
Miu, Don't ever come to a place like this by yourself again.
Yes.
Alright. Then this conversation is over.
Let's go home.
Dad?
Are you crying?
What are you saying?
There's no reason for me to cry.
I'm strong.
I'm sorry for worrying you.
I already said it was ok.
Dad.
I did the bridge!
"Let's cross London Bridge on your shoulders"
"Let's cross London Bridge together."
"Let's cross London Bridge holding hands."
"Let's cross London Bridge so happily."
"Let's cross Horifune Bridge Let's go home."
"Everyone at the factory
is waiting."
Miu, One second. Sorry.
It's Grandma. - Grandma!
Hello, it's Keisuke.
Mom.
Next week you and Dad are going to visit Taeko's grave?
Grandpa and Grandma are coming!?
Hooray!
Hooray! Hooray!
"Just you and Miu living together
is going to be more difficult than it was before."
"I think it would be best for you to quickly find someone who can
watch over Miu."
Hooray! Yay!
Hooray! Hooray!
Grandpa and Grandma are coming. Hooray!
